It continued airing the episodes on July 6, 2015, with the episode "House Guest", the first episode of Season 1B.

Cast

Japan

Steven Universe aired in Japan on June 1, 2014. In addition to the inclusion of on-screen lyrics during the theme song, the hard cuts that end the intro and begin the episode title in the English version are replaced with fades, and the end credits sequence is extended slightly to include credits for the Japanese dubbing cast and staff.

The names are unchanged. In the Japanese katakana script, they are written:

スティーブン (Sutiibun): Steven

ガーネット (Gaanetto): Garnet

アメジスト (Amejisuto): Amethyst

パール (Paaru): Pearl

ルービー (Ruubii): Ruby

サファイアー (Safaiaa): Sapphire

ペリドット (Peridotto): Peridot

ラピスラズリ (Rapis Razuri): Lapis Lazuli

クオーツローズ (Kuootsu Roosu): Rose Quartz

ホリーブルーアゲート (Horii Buruu Ageeto): Holly Blue Agate

トパーズ (Topaazu): Topaz

ジャスパー (Jasupaa): Jasper

カーネリアン (Kaanerian): Carnelian

イエローダイヤモンド (Ieroo Daiyamondo): Yellow Diamond

ブルーダイヤモンド (Buruu Daiyamondo): Blue Diamond

ピンクダイヤモンド (Pinku Daiyamondo): Pink Diamond

If the Gems' names were translated into the Japanese language, they would be:

Theme song

"The Crystal Gems / Help you if you're in trouble* / And there is no complication / That has no solution!/ That's why all the world, today, trusts in / Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, and Steven!"

*The closest to a literal translation is "Help you if you are bad", meaning "if you are in a bad situation", "if you are wrong" or "if you are feeling bad". The linking verb "estás" is translated as "to be", but relates to a current, recent and short term status, not the chronic status led by the translation.

A link to the original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NnmcMLoYv0Also there is a version with "cree en" (believe in) instead of "confia en" (trusts in). This intro only showed up in "Watermelon Steven" only the first time the episode aired. The reason for this change is yet unknown

Cast

Italy

The dubbing of the show is handled by Studio Emme in Rome. Episodes 42 through 52 appear to have utilized a different translation team, as some terminology and names were changed before reverting by Season 2. The characteristics of the Italian dubbing are:

Crystal Gems remained the same, but sometimes they are called Gemme di cristallo

In the Italian dubbing, the Kindergarten is named with both its translated name (Giardino d'infanzia) and the original one

For almost the entire Season 1, Rose Quartz's name and diminutive were translated respectively as Quarzo Rosa and Rosa, but in later dubbing they were reverted to the original for unknown reasons

Jasper, Peridot and Bismuth were not translated with their Italian names (Diaspro, Olivina and Bismuto respectively)

Theme song

"Look! Those, who never leave you, / the big diamond team, / we didn't lose yet, / and we'll always be there, / The people believe in like, they believe so, in Garnet, in Amethyst, in Pearl, and in Steven!

Poland

Episodes 1-42 were dubbed in Studio Sonica, while 43+ were dubbed in SDI Media Poland. The second studio changed some of the voices, for example Lapis Lazuli, Connie's parents, Sadie, Peridot, Rose and Mayor Dewey. They also changed Homeworld translation, which was "Macierzysty Świat", but now it is left in English.

Katarzyna Łaska (Polish voice of Pearl) played role of Kim in Polish version of "Miss Saigon", just like DeeDee Magno Hall did in English version.

"Each one of us has a gem / We are saving this world / Who doesn't appreciate / Will be very surprised / Today the world already knows that it's earnestly protected / (by) Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl and Steven!"

Norway

The names of the main characters were all literally translated into Norwegian. The dub confuses the names of all characters, meaning Steven goes from calling himself the Norwegian "Steven Univers" to the English "Steven Universe" and calling the other main characters by their original names and sometimes their translated names. Norwegian dubs of cartoons normally don't translate all names and just pronounce them the English way, maybe explaining the inconsistency in the Norwegian Steven Universe dub.

What does ‘Gem’ mean? / Call us and we will come. / And even if the world doesn't believe, / yet we'll save Earth! / And the world believes in us, we find fear disgusting. / Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, and Steven.

Theme song

English translation:
We Are The Crystal Gems! / We always save the day! / And if you think we can't/ We always find the way now! / That's why people in this world / Always believes! / Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl and Steven!

Finland

In Finland, the series airs on HBO Nordic, as part of the Toonix streaming service.

Israel

Steven Universe airs on the cable and satellite channel "The Kids' Channel" (ערוץ הילדים) in Israel on the Cartoon Network Block.

The characters names in Hebrew

Note:Names are left in English

גארנט (Garnet)

אמטיסט (Amethyst)

פרל (Pearl)

סטיבן (Steven)

Theme song

סטיבן יוניברס פתיח עברית (Steven Universe Intro in Hebrew)

Steven Universe - Hebrew Intro

אנחנו, אנחנו אבני קריסטל

.את המצב כאן מצילים

,ואם תחשבו שלא נוכל

.גם דרך תמיד מוצאים

לכן כל האנשים מאמינים

.גארנט, אמטיסט ופרל, וסטיבן

anahnoo, anahnoo avney crystal

et amatzav can matzilim.

veim tahshevoo shelo nuhal,

et hadereh tamid motzim.

lachen col hanashim ma'aminim begarnet, ametyst vepearl, vesteven

English translation:

We, we're the Crystal Gems / We save the situation / And if you think we aren't able to / We always find the way / That's why all the people believe in / Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl, and Steven.

The fact that the intro was translated almost literally down to every word from the original is very unbearable for most Israelis or fluent Hebrew speakers, since it grammatically wrong to say it the way it is attributed here.

Trivia

Greg Universe sings a part of the intro in several translations of Steven Universe . He sings "Believe in" in the Latin American Spanish version, "già crede" in the Italian version, "tror på" in the Swedish version, "kan tro på" in the Danish version, "Gorliwie" ま か せ て .. "(" Makasete ... ") in the Japanese version and" مخيف "(" moukhyfon ") in the second Arabic version. This seems to have been reflected in We Are the Crystal Gems.

Beginning with Episode 27, "House Guest" (or Season 1B), all dubs handled by Turner EMEA in PAL territories began using pitch corrected M&E tracks to compensate for the change in framerate. Many dubs still used the 4% higher pitched intro for the remainder of Season 1B, then changed in Season 2, but some European countries are airing the show with the first intro.

Although in Latin American version Garnet's name remains untranslated, Spanish version translates Garnet's name as Granate.

Most, if not all, translations are not exact, as there can be variations, that is dialects, within each language that change the meaning and context of the sentence all together, and thus the translation.

Although the Latin American Spanish dub is produced in Venezuela, some other Cartoon Network shows dubs for Latin America, are produced in Mexico.

In some dubs, Steven is voiced by a woman, in the European Portuguese, Latin Spanish, French, Mandarin Chinese, Castilian Spanish, Arabic, Bulgarian, Indonesian, and Russian dubs. He is voiced by a man in the Japanese, Swedish, Norwegian, Romanian, Dutch, and Polish dubs. In the Italian dub, he is voiced by a child, and a teenager in the Brazilian dub.
